Jesus Tweeted First, Says Vatican Cardinal

A Vatican cardinal has made headlines on the web for arguing Jesus was the first to broadcast his teachings in a way that’s “brief and full of meaning,” much like a tweet, AFP reports via France24.

In a news conference Wednesday, Gianfranco Ravasi, the Vatican’s version of a culture minister and former favorite to be Pope, claimed Jesus “used tweets before everyone else, with elementary phrases made up of fewer than 45 characters like ‘Love one another.’”
